Password & Security: Change your password and see the last time you changed it, edit your trusted phone number, get a verification code to sign in on another device, and view your authentication details.

Manage iCloud, Media, and Purchases

The next two sections in the navigation let you take care of your iCloud settings and your media and purchases.

iCloud: Instead of a dedicated iCloud option on the System Preferences main screen, you’ll go here now to manage your iCloud account. Sync your apps by marking the checkboxes as before. And, click the Manage button at the bottom to manage your iCloud storage.

Media & Purchases: You can adjust your purchase settings here for the App Store, Books Store, free downloads, and in-app purchases. If you click the Manage button for your account or subscriptions, the App Store will open for you to continue.

Manage your devices

The final area in the left-hand navigation is for your devices. You’ll see all of those listed and can click one for further details and actions.

For instance, if you view your iPhone or iPad, you can see things like your model, version, and serial number along with if Find My is on, when the last backup was, and which cards you have set up in Apple Pay.

The options differ depending on the device, but you do have the ability to Remove from Account at the bottom (except for your Mac).

Wrapping it up

Having quick access to your Apple ID and account details is a nice addition to Mac. It may not be an earth-shattering new feature with macOS Catalina, but it is a useful one.
